Hiddenhausen: Dispersed Settlement in the Ravensberger Land
Hiddenhausen has about 20,770 inhabitants and lies in the Kreis Herford of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The municipality has no single town centre but consists of dispersed settlements typical of the Ravensberger Land, where farmsteads were historically scattered across the landscape rather than clustered into villages. The Tabakmuseum documents the local tobacco growing tradition that flourished here in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Herford is roughly 5 kilometres south. Bunde lies to the north. The terrain is gently undulating, with the Ravensberger Huegelland transitioning to the Wiehengebirge hills to the north. Linen weaving once supplemented farming income in the region.
